I know everyone is caught up in the Debt Ceiling "crisis," but don't take your eye off the UN's push for their "Arms Trade Treaty," which has full support of the obama Admistration. Included is a list of Senators who signed Sen Jerry Moran's letter to obama. If your Senator/Senators aren't on this list call him/her and find out why. I know I am.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The junior senator from Kansas July 21 led 44 senators in expressing grave concern about the dangers posed to Second Amendment rights by the United Nations’ Arms Trade Treaty.

“Our country’s sovereignty and the rights of American citizens must not be infringed upon by the United Nations,” Sen. Jerry Moran said. “Today, the Senate sends a powerful message to the Obama Administration: an Arms Trade Treaty that does not protect ownership of civilian firearms will fail in the Senate. Our firearm freedoms are not negotiable.”

The 45 senators notified President Obamaand Secretary of State Clinton of their intent to oppose ratification of an Arms Trade Treaty that in any way restricts the rights of law-abiding American gun owners. This is enough to block the treaty from Senate passage, as treaties submitted to the Senate require approval of two-thirds of Senators present to be ratified.

In the letter, the senators wrote: “As the treaty process continues, we strongly encourage your Administration to uphold our country’s constitutional protections of civilian firearms ownership. These freedoms are not negotiable, and we will oppose ratification of an Arms Trade Treaty presented to the Senate that in any way restricts the rights of law-abiding U.S. citizens to manufacture, assemble, possess, transfer or purchase firearms, ammunition and related items.”

In October of 2009 at the U.N. General Assembly, the Obama Administration reversed the previous Administration’s position and voted for the U.S. to participate in negotiating the Arms Trade Treaty, purportedly to establish “common international standards for the import, export, and transfer of conventional arms.” Preparatory committee meetings are now underway in anticipation of a conference in 2012 to finalize the treaty. A treaty draft has not yet been produced.

My Senator signed it ! The low life bastards in the democrat party ( American Socialist Party ) have tried this under Bush and were told to go to hell by John Bolton . This time , we have a SOCIALIST in the White House and a SOCIALIST in the UN ( Hillary Clinton ) so this needs to be watched VERY CLOSELY .

There are , however several things going for us . Even if brought to the Senate for ratification , it Will Not Pass ! Any senator who votes FOR it will be out of a job come the next election . Last but not least , It would not win if brought to the Supreame Court on Constitutional Grounds .

This current president has not shown any respect for our Constitution thus far, so why begin now? He has managed to do things (Obamacare, for instance) which defy all the rules and regulations and he's gotten away with them. He had better not try to mess with our Constitution. 2012 needs to be won by anybody but Obama. He's got an agenda that is totally contrary to our American way of life and beliefs and he's got the gutsy balls to act on it. Scary.

The sky is falling the sky is falling.We must buy and stock up on more guns and bullets,before the Jack booted UN and Obama come to take our Guns away.
Maybe we could buy some Tanks,some drones,and acquire some WMD's before our second amendment right is all gone,Yeah.
Some fighter Jets,Helicopter Gunships,and a few submarines would be nice too,Yeah.

Calling all Patriots to stop the Anti-Christ from taking our guns away,Yeah.
Stop Hitler and the UN.Wave your flags high and shout ,"USA USA" were number one were number one,Yeah.
God bless America,and "ONLY AMERICA,"Yeah

I have to totally agree with the top opinion. My question is how in the hell does the UN have any authority within our borders, or in dictating what our Constitution is or how it is enforced as our rule of law. This is just another example of his disgraceful existence.

GEE THE DEMOCRAT SIGNED LETTER was not mentioned in posted story..

Posted: July 26

Twelve Democratic senators have joined 45 Republicans in a fast growing movement to halt progress on an Obama-backed United Nations effort that could bring international gun control into the United States and slap America's gun owners with severe restrictions.

Montana Democratic Sen. Jon Tester's office today provided Whispers with their letter, signed by 11 other Democrats, urging the president to press for significant changes in the treaty. Their major concern: that domestic manufacture, possession, and sales of firearms and ammo will be included, thereby giving an international authority the right to regulate arms sales already protected by the Second Amendment. They also said any move for an international gun registry would be a non-starter.
A Republican letter circulated by Kansas Republican Sen. Jerry Moran has 45 signatures

Riht now I'm looking and only seeing one senator from Nebraska....big surprise that the D-traitor-Ben Nelson (Mr. Cornhusker-kick-back-stab us in the back on healthcare) isn't on there. One more reason NOT to vote for him.

Now why doesn't this surprise me? We all knew this was coming. Take away the right of American Citizens to arm/protect themselves and what is left? Get the word out. I just sent this post to all of my family & friends who are all very busy and don't have time to track this information. I'm tired of hearing, "I wasn't aware of any of this". Well, now they are. Thanks for the post.

Not really. Casey is the number one obama Butt kisser! He has only come out of his Rabbit hole twice since he was elected. The first time was to campaign for obama and the second was to push obamacare. Haven't seen the Jackass since. He knew there would be over a million hunters kickin' down his door if he didn't sign.

I'm glad that there are Senators that are willing to stand up and be counted on for the Constitution and the American citizens....If your Senator isn't listed in this group then get ahold of them and tell them they better get included in it if they want to be included in the next Senate...

I thinkThe Constitution needs to be explained aand the Declariation too for thr pinl;ic//// This hasn't been done in almost 80 Years. lastmtime it was pretty Democrat driven. It is time for us to discuss the meaning of the 1st and 2nd carefully. The religion clause needs to be honestly be w=exhanined. And SJ Blak and his interpretation. etc.

I didn't see any dems on the list. I say if the liberals want to disarm, they can go ahead, they probably don't know which is the business end of a gun anyway. Gun control is using two hands to steady your shot. Always identify your target.

i agree that the people should be allowed to have guns but does anyone really need an assault rifle? The second amendment was put in place in 1791. You know, when the peoples' top concern was hunting for food and defending themselves from wild animals and Native Americans. I support your right to have hunting rifles and maybe smaller caliber handguns for self defense but there is not a sane reason a civilian needs an M-16 or AK-47

The Kriss Super V 45 ACP rifle, last week a guy let me fire his at the local range and I was impressed. On wednesday I went ahead and ordered one which I should be able to pick up at my local shop on Thursday. This, and a $1,000 donation to the NRA is how I show my support for 2nd amendment rights (not to mention letters to my representatives).

If he wants insurrection then he will get it....guaranteed. He and Hillary will not turn us into a dictatorial third world Country. I doubt that they really understand that they are playing with fire and a HUGE backlash. I have to believe that there still remains enough of our society that will literally fight for our 2nd Amendment rights.
